Antimicrobial Activity and Characterization of Pomegranate Peel-Based Carbon Dots

This investigation reports the use of agrowaste pomegranate peels as an economical source for the production of fluorescent carbon dots (C-dots) and their potential application as an antimicrobial agent. The carbon dots were prepared through low-temperature carbonization at 200°C for 120 min. The ob...
